CYRUS STANTON CLARK

   Among the educators of high literary attainment is Cyrus Stanton Clark, who
since 1910 has occupied the important position of district superintendent of the
Merced Union Grammar School. He is not only an able instructor, but is deeply
interested in the educational advancement of the locality where he has made his
home for the past fifteen years. Born in Nova Scotia, Canada, February 27, 1884,
he was a small lad when he accompanied his parents, John A. and Lucy E.
(Stanton) Clark, to California, where the father pursued the occupation of a
farmer until the time of his death; the mother of our subject is still living.

   Cyrus Stanton Clark completed the grammar school course, then entered the
Merced High School, from which he was graduated in 1901. He then went to San
Francisco and for one year worked in a wholesale house; from there he went to
Stockton, where he was in the wholesale business for seven years. His one desire
had always been to become an instructor, so with this in view he took first a
private course in teaching, then went to San Jose and entered the San Jose
Teachers' College, receiving his teacher's diploma in 1906. His first teaching
experience was in Colusa County, where he taught for two years. Then for one
year he taught at Oakdale and two years in Stockton, receiving the highest
commendation for his thorough work. He took up his duties as district
superintendent of the Merced Union Grammar School in 1910, and his capabilities
have been recognized as exceptional.

   The marriage of Mr. Clark united him with Miss Ismay Wilson, a native
daughter of Monterey, Cal. They have been blessed with two children, Beverly and
Jane. Mr. Clark is a Republican in his political views; fraternally he is
affiliated with the Knights of Pythias and the Benevolent Protective Order of
Elks, and he is an active member of the local Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Clark is
an enthusiast for all wholesome outdoor sports.
